A homage to Steve Hackett (who wrote this piece)

This is played using John O'Sullivan's Blue JI tuning. Pianoteq and Kontakt didn't play nice together so I had add 4.81 cents to all of the flute notes.
With Frank Miller on drums and bass as the band "2" - a rescue of a late 90's song grabbed from 4-track.
No Place

Ships at sea

We can be

An animated score is below. Ironicly this is scored for a quintet - piano, guitar, bass, sax, and drums. Probably one of the more famous 5/4 time songs.

I can only imagine the relief/disbelief one has when they get out of one of those emergency shaft elevators. This piece is great for that... ascending.

I was passing by a darkened church this evening, as the wind danced through the trees, looking though the a window, i noticed a single candle lit, flickering on the alter step, casting a shadow within.. as i pressed an ear to the dusty glass…

You're livin' hard
And I understand
You have my word
I won't make demands
There's a feelin'

And we'll soon find out
If the feelin's true…

dedicated to our "cold hearted orb that rules the night",, bassoon and french horn exchange glances with one another, cross a web of strings with a little timpani,in for the flavor,,, i have been trying to figure a bassoon into my work, so here…
a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,

Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)
A shorter, stripped down version of a drone piece I submitted for the ongoing Fukushima Drones project, which you will find here:

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…

What with all the great Zep covers posted by Tworegs and Chris Vaisvil, here's mine, I enlisted the vocal of the man himself, thanks Reg! Also note my new fretless strat as second guitar here.
Thank you for the comments. I don't often comment here anymore but I do want to answer your Rhodes question. I believe Ben uses a Yamaha Motif. The clarinets are real. I'd love to hear your new age version of Stairway - that would be grand!
Comments on vaisvil's stuff
still excellent ....love char's v
Chris, this is truly wonderful work! And this is my 2nd attempt at telling you!
Hackett and this one are a big fave of mine, nice take on a beautiful melody.
This is great!!! I'm loving the chorus.
That's some extreme baroque!
Smooth, real smooth.
Wow! This is going on my website. Thanks Chris. http://www.johnsmusic7.com
Wild indeed!
Brilliant!
That was nice!
I like that 'Careful with that axe Eugene' scream at midway. nice!
Ha ha, great! I prefer it to the original and I love the music. I like the way you used instruments for the harmonies.
We had this tune played at my dad's funeral. Nice arrangement Chris, lovely and jazzy! No, hold on .... Wow! it's great!!
Wonderful music to accompany such an emotive photo.
Sounds lovely and timeless! Some pretty!
Wonderful...........
Beautiful........

I grew up with this track and thought it was cool then and it's still cool now.
Super fun!

Hi Richard, not a webcam - that was Stonehedge at winter solstice. Nice piece here!
Nice, though the mix gets a bit muddy for the effects flying all over. +100 for covering this.
Now to return the favor - thanks for listening and commenting.
Hi - the poem is here http://chrisvaisvil.com/i-live-by-the-cemetery-ambient-in-17-edo-harmonic-series-polytuned/
gosh this is like music from the other side of the veil of the multi-universe!
I'm up for a collaboration. Perhaps I can play my long string harp which you can manipulate and videoize.
True, but doing that is hard without practicing in the new key a bit. This was more for the fun of it.
Can I make a request - The Wizard by Sabbath?
nice job on this!
Lovely orchestral piece!
This is a beautiful piece!!

a very intense drone - I like the solo guitar work a lot.
and I love this song!
thanks for the comment.
Awesome! I love your fretless work!
love the sound of your synth here - reminds me lot of the old CS-10 I once had a very long time ago. http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs10.php

has ORH rubbed off on you?
Thank you for the comments Kavin - I know I'd be happy listening to B read a phone book too! And this piece is simply magical!
